Is EZA Weird Or What?

6 replies
I can't even begin to explain the weird things that have been happening lately at EZA (ezinearticles.com), well, at least from my perspective.

Here's a great example. Know how the "minimum" word count for an article at Ezinearticles is 250 words? Well, guess what? It isn't.

I submitted a 300 word article, when it was published, only 223 words of it were actually published. They deleted the first paragraph entirely. How does that even happen? I have a live article on EZA that only has 223 words in it. What the heck?

This really illustrates the inconsistencies at EZA and their approval process. Sometimes they deck my articles for not meeting their "standards" while other articles go right on through with no problem (with the SAME alleged "problems" as the others that got barred from acceptance).

EZA is bizarre. I don't know, just thinking out loud here. Anyone else experience weird stuff from them like this? :rolleyes:

    I honestly think it has something to do with their new staff. I remember Chris Knight saying they had just added a bunch of new editorial staff a few weeks ago and they're probably feeling the hiccups from that now.

    I think they're just going through some major growing pains at this point that we have to be ready for. (Geez, I feel like I work for them but I just really like Chris Knight and I know he'll make things right - even if I do kind of detest the AdSense ads underneath the headline but we'll survive)

    I get stinged for having 4 words hyperlinked yet I counted 12 hyperlinked words in someone's article yesterday. EZA is baffling.

      Yeah, this is another one of those editorial problems. It's just human error. I'm not sure there's a whole ton of trained editorial staff where EZA is located - a lot of them are probably new grads. But hey, they've given me so much traffic that I don't mind a few mistakes every once in a while.

      In the past, I've worked in places where we had to fill out applications for different insurance programs for the state and yeah... it always came down to who the case worker was more than the actual paperwork that was filed. Scary but true.

    As someone pointed out to me it all depends on who is assessing your articles. I had some rejected up to three times for having links to a website that was published in most of the others that were approved.

    EZA articles are reviewed by human reviewers, not Terminators, so there will be mistakes.

    I usually overlook these and just re-submit the articles if possible.
